In otherwise excellent condition with strong colors Very rare Notes: Comes from Van Geel's famous portfolio "Sertum Botanicum" (1828-1832), which consists of approx. 600 hand-colored prints, made from lithographed plates published in four volumes. Lithography by de Burggraaff after drawings by G. Severyns. Biography: Pierre Corneille Van Geel (Mechelen 1796 – Paris 1838), also P. C. Van Geel, was a Flemish writer, publisher, painter, and draughtsman. Pierre Van Geel produced the lithographs for this publication, “Sertum Botanicum”, in 1828 from the drawings of G. Severyns. The publication contained approx. 600 illustrations, the majority of which were ornamental flowering plants recently introduced into cultivation. Unlike most artists of the day who relied mainly on specimens brought to Europe by overseas expeditions, few artists such as Van Geel, ventured abroad to study many of the more exotic flowers, including tropicals, that were up until then rarely captured on paper.
